Louis Napoleon I'm Milan.

litOihc uirppNn W INC LOnuon NEWS.
A very violent controversy is going
on in most of the papers on the pro-
posal of Signor Negri syndic Of Milan,
to erect the monument executed in
honor of Napoleon III. in 1873. The
Milanese, remembering Napoleon's eff
forts for the liberation of Lombardy
and his triumphal entry into Milan by
the side of Victor Emmanuel in 1859,
opened subscription to erect monu-
ment to him. The well-known
sculptor Barzaghi was charged with
its execution, and at the close of
the Milan Exhibition in 1881 it was 10
have been erected. But unexpected
opposition arose from a strong faction
OF the advanced party. They remem-
bered that in 1867 Louis Napoleon's
troops opposed at Montana the attempt
of the Italian volunteers to liberate
Rome, and protested loudly against the
erection OF this monument in public
square. Serious disturbances ensued,
and il was decided to let the question
stand over. 1t is now thought that the
Municipal Council viii insist upon the
erection Of the monument.

while ago Lieutenant Needham fol-
lowed the Zayul Chu from the
Brahmaputra far east through the
Mishmi country, proving that the
Sanpo could not very well join the

Colonel Woodthorpe has visited the hill

seen the infant Irawadi at its sources.
There can now be no doubt that the

Colonel Yule called it, is permanently

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispaich.l
NEW York, January 20, 1887.
For morning promenades, shopping
expeditions, and similar informal occa-
sions, young ladies have this season
shown great liking for the short street
jackets, which eifectnally protect the
upper portion of the person--the part
most needing protection from the cold
while they do not cover the skirt.
Some of these jackets are tailor-ma1e
in heavy smooth cloths. lap-seamed,
and finished in the same manner as n
gentlcman's great coat, which gives
them jaunty or somewhat "man.
nish appearance; others are made
from Persian lsmbswool, or Astrachan,
while there have been vast number
seen in the heavy boucle cloths which
appeared as something of a novelty
this fall. According to slight differences
in pattern, they are variously known as
street jackets, coachman's-coats, top
or cOver-cOats, etc, and they originated
in London.
The one seen in the cut is a street
jacket in a checked English woollen
material, plainly made, and solely
trimmed with black braid and small
wooden buttons. The skirt worn be-
meath, which is seen to greater adj
vantage with this style of street-wrap
than would he the case with any other
form, has for it's principal material
fawn-colored camel's-hair, of which the
killed front breadth and draperies are
composed. The panels, one of which
is placed on either side Of the front
breadth, and which extend beneath the
back draperies, are of dark-brown
velvet, and made entirely plain. The
front drapery is something like a wash
erwoman's apron, and the back dfapery
is rather scant.
The hat worn is low felt shape, on
which the brim turns mp nearly to the
height of the crown; the only trimmings
a large knot of satin picOt ribbon placed

Another geographical problem has
been solved. Less than two years ago
the Royal Geographical Society Of
London spent an evening debating the
question whether the Sanpo of Thibet,

course of the Brahmaputra or of the
Irawadi. A dozen Chinese maps made
it part Of the lswadi system. West

BRINGING THEM TO TIME.

The state railroad commissioners have
addressed a very pointed note to the
railway managers on the subject of car
heating. 1t is fervently to be hoped
that they will be able to bring them to
time. Though direct enough as far as
it goes, the note does not go far enough.
1t is simply one of inquiry. 1t should be
mandatory.
1t is easy enough for the railroads to
inform the commissioners that they are
experimenting in this way and that,
and that they ''hope in the near future to
be able to dispense with the ear stoves"
Before that ''near future" comes around
a score of persons may be cremated
through the car stoves agency. There
is no reason for delay, even though
several of the roads really seem to be
honestly experimenting instead of
merely temporizing.
The experience of several Eastern
roads has demonstrated that perfectly
practical and safe mode of heating eX-
lists. If it can be adopted by them why
can not it or something similar be put in
the cars of the Northwestern railroads?
The question is one of vital interest to
the travelling public, particularly in the
Northwest, where a very high tempera-
ture must be maintained in the cars for
many months in the year; and the evil
dence of the commissioners intention
tOprObe the matter to the bottom will be
viewed with satisfaction.
The security of the public is para
mount to the convenience of the rail
roads, and if it is within the province
of the state board to compel them to
substitute adequate heating apparatus
for the deadly ear stove, they should do
it without delay, or let the people know
the reason why.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

''Victor the Bluestocking" was
given by the Boston Ideals last night at
the Gran d. and was complete success.
Miss DE LUssAN. although suffering
from a severe threat trouble, did re-
markably well, and was repeatedly ell
cOred. Her reception was as enthusi-
aStic as any one could desire. The
house was well filled, and the perform
ance splendidly received.
Tonight that charming old opera
Martha" will be sung, with Miss Ida
KLEIN as Lady Harriet, a perform
ance that received the unqualified praise
of the Chicago critics. She will be sup
ported by Miss CAMPBELL, whose fine
singing last night awakened the enthu-
siasm in an audience that seemed to be
chilled by sudden cold wave. Miss
CAMPBELL will sing the role of Nancy.
Mr.. APPLEBY, the leading tenor of
the company, late Of the G.. ID. Hess and
National Opera company, and Messrs.
SAXON, BAINBRIDGE and MIRON
will also appear in the cast. Miss KLEIN,
the prima donna of the cast, has been
highly spoken of. An Eastern critic of
note speaks of her voice as "a soprano
of considerable fleXibility, clear, sweet
and brilliant in the upper register and
possessed of quality which renders it
quite effective in the ensembles
The orchestra and whole chorus of
the Boston Ideal organization deserve
cOmmendable mention.

TEAR III DOWN.

So another $1,000 is to be spent on
the capitol building to make it little
less of death trap than it now is. This
is not as it should be. The only way to
successfully repair the building is to
tear it down and build new one IN its
place. The present plan simply involves
the throwing of good money after bad.
No amount of tinkering will ever make
the capitol building anything more than
it now is-a decided failure and archi-
tectuTal horror, disgrace to the state
and constant menace to those COM
PEELED to occupy it.
Even if absolutely safe, the structure
would be anything but creditable to a
state as wealthy and as liberal in public
affairs as Minnesota. St. Paul is partic-
ularly interested in seeing the present
building supplanted by something more
in keeping with other fine structures in
the city. for it is upon st. Paul that the
reprOach which the present capitol
building carries with it inevitably falls.
Minnesota can well afford better
building, and even if the matter of
economy is not sufficient argument-fOr
in the course of few years the money
spent on repairs would suffice to build

FOREST FIRES.
They Are Still Prevalent in Varl-
Gus Parts Of the Country.

MowEAeUA, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-This city
was enveloped in smoke all of yester-
day, and the sun could be gazed at with
the naked eye. 1t had a light red ap-
pearance and formed a singular phe-
nOmenOn. The smoke has been so
dense as to affect breathing and eye
sight. This dense cloud of smoke is
coming from the Okaw bottoms, where
hundreds of acres of timber are on fire.
On account of the extreme drouth it
cannot be checked. 1t can be seen burn
ing several miles away. 1t is destroy
ing much property.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 22.-The sun
hung in the skies like a ball of fire all
day, and at times was almost Obsured by
the dense smoke which hOvers over and
around this city. 1t is the same story
that has been told for the past week OF
forest fires, which continue to rage with
undated fury. Sam Tate, Jr., who ar
rived to-day from Birmingham, Ala, via
the Kansas City, Memphis & Birming-
ham railroad, reported forest fires all
along the route between Memphis and
Birmingham. They have been partlcll-
larly destructive in the neighbOrhood of
Kerrville, Tenn, on the line of the
Chesapeake d. Ohio and Southwestern
railway, where man miles of fences have
been destroyed. All the local packets
are from twenty-four to Seventy-two
hours behind time, owing to the dense
smoke which prevails and prevents
them from running at night. The
weather is cloudy, but there are no i'm
mediate prospects of rain.

FRUITS OF PROTECTION.

Where are the prOtectionists now?
All their prating about 4 protective
tariff being a necessity for the labOring
classes has been brought to a sudden
termination. The vail of distress that
is going up from the coal miners of
Pennsylvania is a complete exposure of
the protection fallacy. Master Work
man PoWDERLY's appeal in behalf of
the starving. freezing coal miners tells
the story. 1t was protection that en-
abled the coal barons to entrench them
selves behind a monopoly. 1t is pro
lection that enables them to roll in
wealth at the expense of the great mass
of coal consumers and to practice
the most Ubiquitous eXtortion that has
ever been practiced on a suffering pub
lie And while they are fattening on
their ill-gotten gains, this same prOtec-
ton is driving the poor laborers out
into the winter without food or clothing.
Shame on nation that would permit
such cruel inequalities to exist. If the
suffering among the poor labOrers of the
coal regions is the highest blessing that
a protective tariff can bestow. it is time
that the working classes were coming
to their senses and uniting with the
Democratic party in its effort to bring
about tariff reform.
